The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in the Inland Empire was seven-tenths of a cent lower today than the record set earlier in the week, the Automobile Club of Southern California reported.

The average in Riverside and San Bernardino counties dropped to $3.62 today from Tuesday’s record $3.627. Today’s average is 2.2 cents more than last week’s, 43 cents more than last month and 92.4 cents more than this time last year.

"Prices continued to set new all-time records in most areas until Monday or Tuesday of this week, and then started declining very slightly," Auto Club spokesman Jeffrey Spring said. "With just a couple of days of very small price declines, it’s too early to tell if we’ve reached a spring peak or we’re at a plateau."
